How the Years Go By (the electro-acoustic tribute to Amy Grant)
(2000)
Reviewed by Geoff Horton
The sub-title pretty much says it all. You get Amy Grant songs, you get electronic sounds, you get acoustic guitars. You also get some fairly featureless music. The only distinctive track is "El Shaddai," and unfortunately the distinctive approach taken is rather grating. "Baby, Baby," on the other hand, is the polar opposite of This Train's cover; it verges on listlessness. None of the remaining tracks stand out in either direction.
If you're an Amy Grant completist, or if you're looking for nice background music, this disc meets your needs. For everyone else, there's no pressing reason to buy this one.
